I don't know about you but one of my favorite things is cruising Pinterest and looking for amazing food recipe ideas. It seems I just can never follow a recipe to a T. I'm always vering off and doing my own thang. Well this recipe is no exception.

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers

These are so good even my daughter liked them. And the best part, LOW CARB!!

When you're in the middle of your Hammer and Chisel program and you can only have 2 sevings of carbs a day, you get pretty creative on ways to save those carbs for the important stuff like wine LOL

When I meal prep on Sunday's I usually throw 4-6 chx breasts into my crockpot. That chicken comes in handy during the week to make quick meals to keep my nutrition on track. This girls got GOALS YO!!

Add first 6 ingredients into skillet and heat until hot, add in taco seasoning and enchilada sauce
While chicken mixture is heating cut peppers in half and clean out seeds.
When filling mixture is warmed spoon filling into peppers, place peppers in pan sprayed with oil
Spoon a couple spoonfuls of enchilada sauce on top of each filled pepper and top of each with a sprinkle of cheese.

Top with foil and put in preheated 375 degree oven for 30 mins

after 30 mins take off foil and continue to Cook an additional 20 mins

Top with fresh cilantro and Serve with a yummy side of avocado, tomato salad

I was sad when I realized I would need the one ingredient I didn't have on hand, hickory smoked salt.. But low and behold when I swung by the store i realized they have this little specialty salt section AND SCORE!! Hickory smoke salt was just begging me to take him home, which i did.

Now i would usually make these with ground cashews but not having those and having a limited budget until Friday I skipped that step

I made the spice mix then ripped my 1 bunch of kale off the stems into bite size pcs and washed it. Then pre heated my oven to 200

I put the kale into a big bowl and drizzled it with extra virgin olive oil then used about 4 tsp of spice mix then used a spatula to coat the kale. Then i sprinkled about a Tbsp of nutritional yeast on it and used a spatula to coat the kale

Sprayed my 2 sheet pans with coconut oil and made a single layer with room to move so air can circulate around them

Cooked for 30 mins then flipped Turned temp up to 220 and cooked another 30 mins!
